Yes, your are right!! They did want 30fps interlaced and not the 24p setting. When I edit in the Avid using tape from the XL1s I get 29 frames. So, I thought my camera was already set for 30 interlaced…….am I wrong? How do you change it? Thank you again for clarifying this.
Also, now the shoot is done (yikes). If they did get 24p, how much trouble are they/me in?
